Any chance of mods being able to modify that difficulty screen? Setting new defaults and/or adding new settings? (changing defaults, or locking out options, on the basic map gen screen would be cool too).

pancakeddd: Your problem is how you installed ImageMagick... 1/2 way througb there are a bunch of checkboxes, tick the one that mentions something like "legacy tools (e.g. convert)" and your problem should go away, that's what I ended up doing and it worked for me.

I did some experiments using molten metals instead of metal plates on the bus.

I found that a single pipe can transport about 80% more than a single express belt, it can go underground so can be braided with non-metals that may be on your bus and it should be better for performance (from what I've ...

I'm surprised that loaded! Fixed it now, thanks.

This mod ...

I'd like to be able to hide some autoplace controls and set them to 'none' by default.

The underlying problem is this... I've added some new autoplace-controls for use on different surfaces (new worlds), but I can't stop them from spawning on nauvis.

(I assume there is no existing way to solve ...

I'd like to change the initial MapGenSettings for the default surface (nauvis)... more specifically I want to set some autoplace controls to 'none' which is something you can't do in the new game screen manually.

Partial success...

Terrain tiles didn't have a "control" value in their "autoplace" table, so by adding one and pointing it to something I could tell it not to bother spawning that autoplace-control.

It is picking up the changes to ores (the increased frequency of my own and the lack of coal) but it's not affecting the terrain tiles, maybe it's just supposed to?

I've tried adding "autoplace-control" for grass, trees, doodads, etc. but that doesn't make it work either.

OK, so the water and starting area settings are definitely getting used but the autoplace_controls aren't.

local nauvis = game.surfaces["nauvis"];
local map_gen =
{
terrain_segmentation = "normal",
water = "none",
autoplace_controls =
{
["nidavellir-floor"] = { frequency = "normal", size ...

I have noise layers for them all. Changing the name to anidavellir-floor just crashes the game on load, since the correct entity name doesn't exist.

The problem isn't that the nidavellir entities don't spawn, they do, on both surfaces, but I'm trying to stop everything else spawning on the surface ...

I'm generating a new surface and trying to provide it with it's own MapGenSettings, but it's not working like I'd expect.

The effect I'm after is to completely override the autoplace_controls with my own. I've tried...

{
["nidavellir-floor"] = { frequency = "normal", size = "medium", richness ...

N.B. I am continuing to expand, improve and correct the chart, I just don't post here every time I do it.

It's possible that as the chart gets bigger the resolution of the export decreases.

This - http://www.googledrive.com/host/0ByN9GXXqAtKqcEQyTWVra1BVNGM - should be much clearer.

ic, it's probably 5Dim then, that's annoying because all I wanted was the trains.

In other news I've added green circuits, blue science and fixed a mistake with the invar alloy recipe.

I see, I thought I'd seen cobalt ore patches but I must have been mistaken (or another mod is messing things up). I've integrated that into the chart now.

I've also added the ammo types, which, now that I've charted them out, make a lot more sense to me :) although it may be a little tricky for ...

I found 90% of the chemical stuff you need is contained in the top left of the diagram (mostly derived just from water). I've added the chain for nitric acid because that's very useful and easy to produce (from an air and water pump).

I think the main remaining chemistry stuff is oil related, which ...

So I was struggling to see what was needed to build what, how they all related to one another, and thus how to layout a factory so I started making a flow chart that details various production chains. Things are grouped to try and make it easy to build a factory with (particularly, in my case, with ...
